ASSEMBLING THE ATTACHMENT
Attaching the attachment to the tractor is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The attachment is mounted
to the tractor by using the CAT I or CAT II three-point linkage.
If the attachment is not locked to the tractor, it may detach from the tractor and cause a hazardous situation. The
tractor must not be driven when the attachment has not been locked. To prevent hazardous situations, always
follow the coupling procedure shown
by the tractor’s user manual
. Also remember the safety instructions shown
in this manual.
Crushing risk!
DANGER
1.
Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not move or fall over
2.
Do not stay in the area between the attachment and the tractor
3.
Mount the attachment only on level surface
4.
Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked.
CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING HYDRAULIC HOSES
Risk of movement of the attachment and ejection of hydraulic oil - Never connect
or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the control
lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever is locked on or if the system is
pressurized.
DANGER
Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is pressurized may
lead to unin- tended movements of the attachment, or ejection of high-pressure fluid,
which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping procedure before
disconnecting hydraulics.
NOTICE!
Keep all fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the attachment and
the tractor. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never
leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the
attachment.
Disconnecting hydraulic hoses:
Before disconnecting the fittings, lower the attachment to safe position on solid and level surface. Turn the control
lever of the auxiliary hydraulics to its neutral position.
NOTICE!
When uncoupling the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic couplings before
unlocking the quick coupling plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills. Reinstall the
protective caps on the fittings to prevent impurities from entering the hydraulic system.
Releasing residual hydraulic pressure:
In case residual pressure is left in the hydraulic system of the attachment, it is often possible to disconnect the
hydraulic couplings, but it may be difficult to connect them the next time. If the fittings will not connect, the
residual pressure must be released by turning the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the tractor, when the engine is
turned off. To make sure that there will not be residual pressure in the hydraulic system of the attachment, shut
down the tractor engine and move the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the tractor back and forth before
disconnecting the couplings.
